    Hey guys I am doing a few cooling mods to my m17x r2 that will include changing out the stock thermal pads on the gpu and cpu. The stuff I have laying around here is 3.2w/m-K.

    Now I know at frozencpu and other places you can get 6w/m-K and up.....but my question is dose anyone know what the stock thermal pads used in our m17x heat transfer rate is? will this 3.2w/m-K actually be a upgrade over stock?

    3.2w is an upgrade.

    I believe the stock stuff is around 1.8w
